Extractions: During the time, a British officer ordered Jackson to black his boots and, when the boy refused, was slashed across the forearm with a saber leaving a scar he carried for the rest of his life. Jackson saw his brothers die in British POW Camps from smallpox and even contracted the disease himself, but survived. His mother also passed away during the Revolution while traveling to Charleston to care for wounded American prisoners. Andrew Jackson emerged from the War older, wiser, and with a loathing for all things British. After a stint as a schoolteacher in Charleston, Jackson began studying law in Salisbury, N.C. and eventually moved to the city of Jonesborough in frontier Tennessee where he was admitted to the Bar in November 1787. Jackson had, throughout his life, been the model frontiersmen and was capable in the rough-and-tumble world of early America. Jackson considered himself a "man of the people" and was known to be able to hold his own when it came to drinking, fighting, and gambling at the cockfights often held in the frontier communities.
Great American History Fact-Finder - -Jackson, Andrew jackson, andrew. (17671845), seventh president of the United States (1829-37). Born in Waxhaw, South Carolina, jackson served as a lad in the colonial army http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/gahff/html/ff_099200_jacksonandre.ht
Extractions: Entries Publication Data Dedication Advisory Board ... World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder , seventh president of the United States . Born in Waxhaw, South Carolina, Jackson served as a lad in the colonial army during the American Revolution and was later elected to the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate from Tennessee . He gained a reputation as an Indian fighter when he defeated the Creeks in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend and became the hero of the War of 1812 with his decisive 1815 victory over the British at New Orleans. Jackson then led successful campaigns against the Seminoles and became the first governor of the Florida Territory in 1821. Jackson ran for president in the election of 1824 , one of four candidates. Although he received a plurality of the popular votes, he did not receive a majority of the electoral votes, so the decision went to the House of Representatives. There the Speaker of the House Henry Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams , thereby electing Adams. Jackson claimed a "corrupt bargain" had taken place when Adams appointed Clay secretary of state. As leader of the Democratic party , Jackson easily won the presidency in 1828, becoming the first man from west of the Appalachians to be elected president. He was called the "common man's president," for he had grown up poor and was sympathetic to the non-elite.

Last Years F Jackson had pledged to reduce the national debt. He was therefore opposed to the rising number of bills before Congress that proposed to finance internal improvements with public money. His opposition was at variance with his own stand while he had been senator and was also highly unpopular with his Western supporters. The Maysville Road Bill gave him the opportunity to make his opposition clear. It authorized the use of federal funds to construct a road between the towns of Maysville and Lexington, both in Kentucky. Jackson vetoed the bill, calling it unconstitutional because it concerned only the state of Kentucky. G Jackson supported Georgia in its effort to deprive the Cherokee nation of its land. Jackson claimed that he had âno power to oppose the exercise of sovereignty of any state over all who may be within its limits.â The Cherokee appealed to the Supreme Court, and in

Extractions: First Annual Message to Congress, 8 December 1830 It gives me pleasure to announce to Congress that the benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the Indians beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy consummation. Two important tribes have accepted the provision made for their removal at the last session of Congress, and it is believed that their example will induce the remaining tribes also to seek the same obvious advantages. Toward the aborigines of the country no one can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself, or would go further in attempting to reclaim them from their wandering habits and make them a happy, prosperous people. I have endeavored to impress upon them my own solemn convictions of the duties and powers of the General Government in relation to the State authorities. For the justice of the laws passed by the States within the scope of their reserved powers they are not responsible to this Government. As individuals we may entertain and express our opinions of their acts, but as a Government we have as little right to control them as we have to prescribe laws for other nations. And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian? Is it more afflicting to him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children? Rightly considered, the policy of the General Government toward the red man is not only liberal, but generous. He is unwilling to submit to the laws of the States and mingle with their population. To save him from this alternative, or perhaps utter annihilation, the General Government kindly offers him a new home, and proposes to pay the whole expense of his removal and settlement. . . .

Longevity Of U.S. Presidents An informal study of us presidents may yield some surprising answers. jackson, andrew, 7, 1845, 78, old age, multiple diseases http://web2.airmail.net/uthman/pres_longev.html
Extractions: Last updated 2 Sep 2000 Everyone knows that the average life span of humans has increased markedly in the 20th century, but has it increased for everyone? An informal study of U.S. presidents may yield some surprising answers. My aim is to look at the effect of medical advances over the last two centuries on the longevity of those who are most likely to have access to those advances. I think presidents make an interesting (if small) sample because of their demographic uniformity: all are white male politicians, almost all are military veterans, and presumably all had sufficient wealth and/or prestige to command whatever medical resources were available in their later years. Of the 41 men who have held the office, 5 are still alive (Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton), 4 were victims of homicide, all from gunfire (Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy)*, and 32 died of natural causes (4 while in office: Harrison, Taylor, Harding, FD Roosevelt). These 32 are listed below by date of death. The "ordinal" figure is the order in which each served as president, Cleveland having served two non-consecutive terms. NAME ORD-

Religious Affiliation Of U.S. Presidents * Religion One of the most overrepresented religious groups among us presidents is 7, andrew jackson, Presbyterian. 8, Martin Van Buren, Dutch Reformed http://www.adherents.com/adh_presidents.html
Extractions: United Church of Christ Keep in mind that in the table above, the % of the U.S. population for religious groups are current figures. Religious groups have had much different proportions at various time in U.S. history. One of the most over-represented religious groups among U.S. presidents is Unitarianism. Despite merging with Universalism in the 1960s, the combined proportion of Unitarian Universalists in the U.S. population is just 0.2% of the population (one in every 500 Americans). Yet there have been 4 Unitarian presidents. Another over-represented religious group among U.S. presidents is Dutch Reformed, by virtue of having two U.S. presidents, yet having only a small number of people left in the country who identify themselves as Reformed. The contemporary heir to the Dutch Reformed churches is the "Reformed Church in America," which has about 300,000 members in the U.S. and Canada. (Alternatively, one might count only a single president as Dutch Reformed, if Theodore Roosevelt is counted as an Episcopalian sources differ on this subject . Even just one Dutch Reformed president would constitute statistical over-representation.) After that, Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, and Quakers have also had representation in the White House far outstripping their proportion of the U.S. population.

Extractions: Fellow-Citizens: About to undertake the arduous duties that I have been appointed to perform by the choice of a free people, I avail myself of this customary and solemn occasion to express the gratitude which their confidence inspires and to acknowledge the accountability which my situation enjoys.... In administering the laws of Congress I shall keep steadily in view the limitations as well as the extent of the Executive power, trusting thereby to discharge the functions of my office without transcending its authority. With foreign nations it will be my study to preserve peace and to cultivate friendship on fair and honorable terms, and in the adjustment of any differences that may exist or arise to exhibit the forbearance becoming a powerful nation rather than the sensibility belonging to a gallant people. In such measures as I may be called on to pursue in regard to the rights of the separate States I hope to be animated by a proper respect for those sovereign members of our Union, taking care not to confound the powers they have reserved to themselves with those they have granted to the Confederacy.

At his last one, a wheel of cheese weighing 1,400 lbs. was eaten in two hours. The White House smelled of cheese for weeks. Fast Fact: Andrew Jackson, first frontier President, came to office with great popular support. Biography: More nearly than any of his predecessors, Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote; as President he sought to act as the direct representative of the common man. Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, he received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel killed a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel. Jackson prospered sufficiently to buy slaves and to build a mansion, the Hermitage, near Nashville. He was the first man elected from Tennessee to
